Preparation of salmon poke
To start, bring the water to a boil, salt it, and when it boils, add the rice, cook until al dente, drain it and put it in a glass bowl, season with the oil, mix with the help of two spoons, and let it cool completely.
Meanwhile, as the rice cools, prepare the vegetables, clean the cucumber, clean the carrots and cut them both into spaghetti with the spiralizer, set aside.
Cut the smoked salmon into small pieces, set aside.
When the rice is cold, assemble the poke this way, put the rice in the bowl, on one side add the salmon and season it with grated lemon peel and a pinch of pepper.
Next to the salmon, place the spiral carrots and next to the carrots, the spiral cucumbers (leaving one side with just rice as seen in the photo), season with a pinch of salt.
